O what a melting consideration is this!

John Flavel, "The Fountain of Life" 1671

"Christ died for the ungodly." (Romans 5:6)

O what a melting consideration is this! That . . . out of His agony, comes our victory; out of His condemnation, comes our justification; out of His pain, comes our ease; out of His stripes, comes our healing; out of His gall and vinegar, comes our honey; out of His curse, comes our blessing; out of His crown of thorns, comes our crown of glory; out of His death, comes our life!
